You probably don't really need one. Just call it a proving ground or something. Give it an "Area 51" kind of feel.
Two new images/filecards:
Payload & Slipstream
I tried and I tried, but I just couldn't come up with a reasonable motivation for an astronaut to have a full-time position on a joint special operations team like my conception of GI Joe. In the end, I changed Paylaod to an operations management/planning officer with a background in special operations aviation. Had to resort to a little internet-fu to access the current Joint Special Operations University course list for O-4s and above, but it was worth it, and I'm happy with how the filecard came out.
It was a little easier to transition Slipstream... fighter jets aren't normally part of special operations aviation (none of the units under the USAF special operations command operate fighters) but I re-designed him as an ex-fighter jcokey who transitioned to special operations aviation flying MC-130 transports. I still had him wear a g-suit over his flight suit in the image above, though, even if MC-130 pilots don't normally wear them, because it's the only way I could work in the "chaps" from the original toy design. Just think of it as a picture of him from his fighter pilot days
Oh, and before you guys ask, that's not Sean Penn's face on Slipstream's head. It's an Armenian-American actor whose name I forget.
As always, their full filecards can be accessed by clicking on the Filecard Project link in my signature.
